[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Conercao:
Orange seem to be taking years to release the JB update for the Xperia T. I know they have to check it and whatnot, but does it really take that long, since both Google and Sony have already been through the update with a fine toothcomb?

I'm seriously considering rooting my phone as Orange (EE) are just promises and more promises.

Is it worth rooting?

Please advise..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Supersonic335:
root isnt necesary when you want to flash different region firmware...just backup your firmware http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1377853 and then flash some JB firmware via flashtool and when you want to go back just flash your created backup:good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arcano:
Vodafone is not planning on releasing 4.1 either, at least here in Spain.

Frankly, I don't bother with carrier customized roms any more, as soon as I check the phone is working I start flashing. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Thrakka:
Conercao, you should do the same thing that i've done.

Take an official JB .tft files from XT wihout operators (like Orange, which never follow updates), you can find this on the forum, and you've to flash it using flashtool.

There is no bug or no problem with it, because it's the ROM provide by Sony, without all orange stupids apps.

If you want to keep the root, there is some tutos in the android dev sections to keep it (downgrade via flashing an old firmware .303 if I remember and do some particular things to keep the root). I haven't done this, just because i forgot it when i flash the JB tft files.

Maybe i'll do this next week, I don't know ...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Deleted member 2496007:
Did the same as others here op. Just get the official firmware and flash. First android phone I've had that I've not felt compelled to root.

Also highly recommend you check out Xperia Launcher 1.3.7 in these forums. An excellent modded stock launcher with a heap of extra features.

Do we have anyone working on Ubuntu Touch for our phones?

I saw where they had released the porting information. I would love to be able to build these however I am lost when it comes to building roms( I know I need to change my Ubuntu to do so). Thanks for any responses. Also sorry if this is the wrong section or an inappropriate question.
[Intercept General] bgoode2006:
So. I have tried putting it in download mode, recovery mode, nothing works.

when i plug it in the red light in the sensor button comes on then after like 10 minuets it vibrates. but thats it.

sorry if this has already been answered. ive looked everywhere and cannot find the answer

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
I'll save you some trouble buddy, don't create threads like this, you'll get them locked and you could possibly be reported (and then even banned..)

To be honest, if you want to save battery, what are you doing running Sense? The ROM with the best battery (in MY personal opinion) is BlackIce (Gingerbread 2.3.7 CyanogenMod 7). But out of Sabsa or Viper, I'd say ViperDHD
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkid123:
The last guy hit the nail on its head.

Although both roms are decent on battery, and neither uses noticeably more than the other IN MY EXPERIENCE.

How much on screen time do you have? Can you post a screenshot of that too?

screen time should be the main screenshot we see. without it that battery information is useless.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] muqali:
Why don't they charge $6 more and put the NFC antenna on these things? The batteries are great, but without NFC, going forward are going to lose my business.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] acb77:
Does anyone know where to buy these apart from Amazon (for non US buyers)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Ghost_1:
Mine came with a piece of crap NFC that didn't even work. I ended up using the one from the stock case and scotch taped it to the phone. Lol works just like the OEM backplate now. It only looks bad when you show off the battery.

Funny enough I've had four different backplates and the only two that worked were the OEM ones. :P
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Treeterp98:
I'm having similar results. Very happy with this purchase. Just ordered a sweet armor bumper to finish everything off.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] h3ck:
I just ordered my Anker and hoping the NFC is not crap on it. Also, going to do the vinyl mod that's been talked about in the extended battery cover thread.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rwitmer:
Has anyone seen a flip cover type case for these 6200+ mah batteries?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dude18:
l resorted to using a mail forwarder. Shipito
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wing_addict_usa:
So they do come with nfc but it doesnt work so they say no nfc? I'm ready to buy when nfc works.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Ghost_1:
The one I got from Amazon had NFC on it. The site didn't mention it but it didn't work anyway. lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
Yea I had to take the NFC off my original back door and connect it to the Anker back door.

Works now lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ttabbal:
Just curious to those that own one, how strong is the backplate they supply? The ones I've used in the past tend to be crappy and come off too easy. The concern is that I use a FlyGrip and so the phone will be held by the backplate all the time. The stock one holds nicely, and I have a case than snaps on tight enough that it works well. As cases for extended batteries are rare, I'd need the back to be on there very well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Treeterp98:
While the small plastic grips on the back cover break easily (two have snapped off, not as a result of trauma) once it is in place, it feels solidly attached. I dropped my phone twice and it became unhinged on one side both times. Snapped back into place and all was well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
So was it easy to take the NFC off of the stock Note door? My daughter has the extended battery but cant use it because she cant use the NFC to Sbeam with her school mates. I wanted to rip it off but it looked like it would tear. Can you explain how you removed it and placed it on the Anker back door? TIA

Oh well, managed to get it out but it was torn. Needless to say it didnt work...LBVS
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] h3ck:
Just got mine, will do some testing and report back.

Glad to see you still around. :)

I'm looking at the screenshots of these batteries and I get this on stock so what's the point? I got 8 hours of screen time yesterday without even trying.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SJGSM:
That's bull**** I Recomend 2 original Samsung. Bateries . One In your phone and the Spare in your Wallet
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Ghost_1:
Then you are one of the lucky ones. Is probably get a little under a full day. I'd go to work grab a beer and get home with about 10-25% left. I use my phone at work a lot. With the extended battery I do the same thing but have about 60-75% battery left when I get home.

Leaving the screen on and playing mp3's is not a good representation of real world usage for most people. It's just a quick way to see how the battery performs. There are numerous other factors signal strength for example. If your phone is constantly on 2g (edge) it can make the stock battery last 2 days.

I'm not knocking your opinion I'm just saying some people like myself need the extra juice to get me through the day. :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
I get normally 20-25 hours of screentime with this battery.

Cant get that with stock.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
Just applied a bumper and carbon fiber vinyl the my phone/back door.

Will upload pics tomorrow.

And FYI.

Leave a bad review on Amazon about the back door and they will send a new one.

I got my replacement in the mail today.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
Why would I buy another dinky 3100mah battery for $15 when I can buy a 6100mah for $16?

That being said...

I dont know if this comes into consideration but I bought the Note 2 on the day it came out, so my normal battery is one of the first.

I can practically watch that thing power down.

I still keep it on my wallet in case of emergencies though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] h3ck:
Totally not scientific, but this thing is a beast. I haven't charged it for over a day. I have used navigation, Google Music, watched latest episode of walking dead, and played Battle friends at sea and much more. This battery was definitely worth the money.

Are there any major differences in the battery life of this 6200mah battery and the $106 mugen 6400mah one? How much more battery life would the mugen one get over this one?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Sobakel:
If those are the true stats of a 6200 battery, then its rubbish mate..

I am getting roughly 5-6 hours of screentime (facebook/ music (screen off) / constant email updates (work and private, so its a lot) calling via viber)

And that on the stock battery.. So if Anker says its 6200 mAh I am expecting atleast 13 hours of screentime without if's and but's
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
I get 15-20 hours of screen on mine.

That's not gonna matter soon.

Ordering the Zero Lemon 9300 mah.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Bstrong9211:
At this rate I will get 15 hours screen on time.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mike61096:
Dang lol u guys really use your phones a lot...I get 18 hours on my stock 3100mah battery.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Bstrong9211:
I'd like to add a few things. People getting lackluster times on this battery did you keep it on charge for 12 hours on the initial charge?

Secondly, I just wanna give a shout out to anker customer service. I had a problem where my back quit staying on and sent them an email about it. They responded within 24 hours and sent me a replacement back and another battery for my trouble at no cost to me. Best customer service I've dealt with in a long time. Would buy from them again.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
This is on my stock normal battery with a battery saver.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mazdamiata210:
This is my stock times with very very heavy usage so people who are getting 8 hours with this battery is not worth it.

A thanks is always appreciated if I helped you.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
I don't get anywhere near that on my stock battery.

The Anker battery gives me about 15-20 hours of on screen time.

A bit better as my stock battery gives me about 3 hours of screen time.

I also have the first battery ever put out, don't know if that's a factor.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mazdamiata210:
And that was with very very heavy internet usage. Usually I go to sleep with about 4 to 5 hours of screen time and my battery on about 40/50% still. I'm also running 4.1.1 because the battery sucks on 4.1.2

A thanks is always appreciated if I helped you.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
So you got better battery life on 4.1.1?

Because I'm on 4.1.2 at the moment.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mazdamiata210:
YES! Without a doubt, I upgraded to 4.1.2 three times and all three times I only saw about 4 hours of screen time. Now as you can see I get well over 8 hours with normal use. And I get even more when I have 3G off. I would recommend going to 4.1.1... However you also run the risk of SDS with it. But I don't see it to be that widespread of a problem. I read a post the other day saying it was only with certain chips made on phones after a certain date?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
Hmm, looks like I have to go down to 4.1.1
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Bstrong9211:
I think a big factor in mazdas battery life is the fact he was on wifi the majority of the time. Using wifi over data will usually double your battery.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mazdamiata210:
Even off of wifi I still get well over 7 hours of screen time with normal usage (texting, browsing, email, facebook, etc)

I know this is a dumb question. But here goes. I just got my anker 6200 and done the 12 hour charge on it. I am using twrp for recovery. How do I clear the battery stats. In thw clockwork mod app has a spot to just cclear battery stats. I can't seem to find it on twrp....
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
To be honest, i have no idea lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] donelam304:
I tried downloading and just flashing in to cwrm to clear it but it still boots in to twrp. Lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Bstrong9211:
You can download an app called battery calibration that will wipe the stats
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] remix_88:
These are my stats from a stock battery. During the period below bluetooth was enabled for 8 hours and paired with the Car. NFC is only enabled when required and I use Llama to manage mobile data and wifi enablement. Display is auto brightness and power saving featues are enabled.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
But just 5 hours of screen time?

I get 15-20 on my Anker.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bob52r:
any tpu flexible case that can hold this Anker comfortably?

What one, but need a safe useable case with some protection--any good workable solutions?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Bstrong9211:
Only cases I've seen are made for the hyperion. Getting a bumper may work
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] eijisawakita:
I have mugen's battery door and sweet armor case. I had to put small piece of cardboard together with my battery because it was loose. I dont have the patience to cutout a vinyl cover to match my grey note 2. My phone feels heavy but it looks great. The build in stand is also a plus.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] donelam304:
I just modified meaning cut part of the hard plastic part of the case on my otterbox out. Works like a dream. Cant even tell its been modified because its behind the rubber back part.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Ghost_1:
Have you thought about using plastidip? Should not take more than three or four layers. It will also give you good grip. There is a recent post on how to do it in this forum, but on my phone so it's a pain in the ass to link it. Sorry.

Thanks for the info, ill try it. How long do you think it will last?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] donelam304:
I trued this on my bionic I had. I will recomend this if you want it to ladt longer. I used a really fine piece of sand paper to scuff up the surface of the cover and then clean it thoroughly before painting it. I had 2 back plates. Because it does scratch up it good. I dont this the second tume I painted it. And it lasted about 7 months. Without sanding it I only got about 1 month before it started peeling off.

Could there be a Ubuntu Touch port for Nook Tablet 8 or 16gb? I'm willing to test it if anyone planing to build. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
The Adam Outler Re Flash Method uses ubuntu as a recovery program. But if you remove the recovery file from the SD card then it becomes a version of "Ubuntu Touch"
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BrazenRain:
Porting Ubuntu Touch is similar to building CM10.1, so expect it to come around sometime. I personally will wait for the release version, as the current preview build is mostly non-functional except for perhaps the browser.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ajbiz11:
Then again, with a base ported over, taking drivers from the recovery, it would be simple to port the official...since the kernel is almost locked in!

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] PassingThruLife:
I am thinking about purchasing a LG P769 for use on At&t.Since it is a T-Mobile phone,I wont have to have a data plan from at&t which it forces me to have for my Atrix 2 and Galaxy Note.I plan to just unlock it and disable the data.

I've had some LG flip-phones in the past and have owned an LG Thrill which I did not really care for(I got it for free with an upgrade),but I am sure LG has improved slightly...

Is this a decent phone for the average used?I am just looking for good call quality,easy texting and playing some casual games.

Thanks in advance for any input.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
As per current situation in XDA and the restricted support of P769 providers, I will "not recommend it", until LG releases P769 through its own channel, and not from other mobile operators. Read all forum and various threads and posts about P769 before you decide to buy one.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] dkouzou:
I don't foresee the same XDA support for the P769 as was seen here for the HTC G2 and HD2 Leo. Nevertheless, it is a midgrade phone running ICS (JB 4.1 expected eventually) and serves me well w/o a custom rom. It is dual core, has 1GB of ram, and is physically light. Unfortunately, it includes a bit of T-Mobile bloatware (that is easily disabled). Removal is possible, but research! ...and you probably know that T-Mobile's wifi calling will not work for you on AT&T.

Two areas of concern are the lack of a light sensor for auto-dimming and has only 2GB of internal memory (G2 had 4!). It is sold without an SD card so you will have to buy one. The lack of auto-dimming hasn't bothered me yet, but it might. The 2150mAh battery seems to help with usage life. Whether I recommend it depends on the price.

Anyways, this was quickly written and I may be back to organize and edit this post.

btw... root it and backup root with voodoo (see threads here) before an OTA update installs.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
He can get good alternate at the same or bit more cost, he just have to look around. And what if he gets phone with V10G or if V10G is unknowingly updated on V10E? He will lose root and nothing much can be done. He should better go for any HTC or Samsung Grand, a recommended at this moment.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] dkouzou:
For $150 USD, I'd buy it (no contract), but above $200 I might consider more expensive options. I see the LG 769 now at Best Buy for $200 (no contract). He can return it if it comes with V10G preinstalled. Considering that he wishes to use it with AT&T, he will have to get it unlocked and this will drive his total cost over $200. An AT&T phone might be more economical although I don't know their selections. An AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II is about $300 (StoreSF). The cheapest I see the Samsung Galaxy Grand is around $400 online (Mobile City Online). If you know of a phone with similar or better specs to the LG 769 (min. dual core, ICS or JB, 1GB Ram) at around $200 or less (no contract), please share.

Never tried this. I guess you can use Wifi only for data?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
U r right. At 150 u can go for it. In our country it is 310. And Grand is 350.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] BaLiSTa:

And compare to samsung.i just noticed that most of their new released phone have thesame looks/style and thats a plus for l9,slim and light..like other post go for galaxy grand rather l9,naahh,,i even had thought of it overnight and finally had my l9 the ff day..

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] chicguy:
Based on your requirement: "I am just looking for good call quality,easy texting and playing some casual games", and if you can get 150$ price tag, definitely go for it, it should be the best bang for your buck the last 2, 3 months (USA). For 200$ price tag, it might be still best value out there, but you might want to look around more.

People here in this forum seems to always assume phone must be rooted, must have unlocked boot loaders to be a phone, but it totally depends on your usage to care about those things or not. And from your description, I would say you can live well with either of those (root might be a bonus for some adblocking and backup btw).
